Defects at Grain Boundary in Ultrananocrystalline Diamond Hold Responsibility for Fundamental Mechanism of Energy Dissipation

Researchers in the Nanofabrication and Devices group at the Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, Advanced Diamond Technologies Inc., and Innovative Micro Technology, have discovered that defects at the grain boundary in ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) hold primary responsibility for the fundamental mechanism of energy dissipation.

Graphite Oxide Can Now be Transformed to Graphene by an Ordinary Camera Flash

A Northwestern University professor and his students have found a new way of turning graphite oxide -- a low-cost insulator made by oxidizing graphite powder -- into graphene, a hotly studied material that conducts electricity. Scientists believe graphene could be used to produce low-cost carbon-based transparent and flexible electronics.
